COLLEGE BASEBALL Oklahoma Eliminates Wichita State Home runs by Rich Hills and Jason Evers led Oklahoma to an 8-4 victory over second-ranked Wichita State last night in Omaha, sending the Shockers to their earliest exit in the College World Series. Wichita State (56-11), the runner-up last year to Louisiana State, lost to Pepperdine on Saturday in the double-elimination tournament. The school had finished third or higher in four previous C.W.S. appearances. Oklahoma (43-23), ranked seventh and 10th in two national polls, already has one loss in the series. The Sooners will play Texas (47-16), which lost by 7-0 to Pepperdine (46-11-1) last night, to determine who will play Pepperdine on Thursday.
